International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [3]
hûrt : The term (noun and verb) represents a large number of Hebrew words, of which the chief are רע , ra‛ (verb רעע , rā‛a‛ ), "evil" ( Genesis 26:29; 1 Samuel 24:9; Psalm 35:4 , etc.), and שׁבר , shēbher or שׁבר , shebher (from שׁבר , shābhar ), "a fracture" or "breaking" ( Jeremiah 6:14; Jeremiah 8:11 , Jeremiah 8:21; Jeremiah 10:19; compare Exodus 22:10 , Exodus 22:14 ). In Greek a principal verb is ἀδικέω , adikéō , "to do injustice" ( Luke 10:19; Revelation 2:11; Revelation 6:6 , etc.); once the word "hurt" is used in the King James Version ( Acts 27:10 , story of Paul's shipwreck) for ὕβρις , húbris , "injury" (thus the Revised Version (British and American)). In the Revised Version (British and American) "hurt" sometimes takes the place of other words in the King James Version, as "sick" ( Proverbs 23:35 ), "breach" ( Isaiah 30:26 ), "bruise" ( Jeremiah 30:12; Nahum 3:19 ); sometimes, on the other hand, the word in the King James Version is exchanged in the Revised Version (British and American) for "evil" ( Joshua 24:20 ), "harm" ( Acts 18:10 ), or, as above, "injury" ( Acts 27:10 ). These references sufficiently show the meaning of the word - harm, bruise, breaking, etc. In Jeremiah ( ut supra ) the word is used figuratively for moral disease or corruption.
